Application
NanoFabTx™ Maleimide Lipid Mix is a ready-to-use nanoformulation lipid mixture for the synthesis of maleimide-functionalized liposomes. Maleimide is a stable and easy-to-handle moiety that rapidly and covalently conjugates thiol groups of cysteine residues in proteins or peptides. This lipid mix enables users to encapsulate a wide variety of small molecules for targeting and immunotherapy applications without the need for lengthy trial-and-error optimization.
This product includes a curated lyophilized lipid mixture containing rationally selected lipids in precise ratios that have been optimized to achieve a desired size range of liposomes. Step-by-step protocols for the synthesis of liposomes surface-functionalized with maleimide groups using extrusion and microfluidics are also included. The synthesized maleimide-functionalized liposomes enable facile conjugation of targeting groups like proteins, peptides, and other thiol-containing moieties onto the liposome surface for targeted drug delivery.

Numerous examples exist in the literature for the use of maleimide-thiol-reactions in the area of functionalized nanoparticles. Although the hydrolysis tendency of maleimides is well-known, qualitative and quantitative information on the stability and reactivity of maleimide groups during preparation and
